The Crown Point City Board of Public Works and Safety on Sept. 4 approved a set of SRF disbursements and reimbursement requests connected to ongoing water‑system projects.
Al, a public works official, told the board that Phase 4 water projects are complete and that the city is updating its water master plan following the work. He asked the board to approve SRF reimbursement request No. 53, which was recorded in the meeting packet as $2,010. "That's 1st 1 number 53 in the amount of $2,010," Al said. The mayor moved to approve the reimbursement and the board voted to approve it.
Al also reported the 24‑inch water supply line construction is expected to begin in December and requested a $7,498 disbursement for miscellaneous engineering shop‑drawing reviews tied to that project; the board approved the payment. On lead service line replacements, Al said the contractor had completed work within the project scope and requested SRF disbursement No. 37 for $8,791 to cover CEI (construction engineering inspection); the board approved that payment as well.
Al additionally discussed anticipated larger financing for future main replacements, noting the city expects funds from a state loan program and mentioning an amount discussed in the meeting of about $62,000,000. That figure was described during the update and should be treated as the city's stated estimate in the meeting record. He said the project was expected to go out to bid in February, with construction to follow.
The approvals were routine and carried by voice vote after motions and seconds from board members. The board will continue to track project schedules and funding as engineering work and bidding progress.
